I don't want an Experimental anyway...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Paul Poberezny once proposed the name "sport" or "custom" in lieu of "experimental" and it's negative connotations. Never gained traction. I don't think markings and placards are going to make/break someone's decsision to build a plane.

In conversation you can use whatever term you like. I refer to my RV as a kitplane and that seems to be well received. I think it conjures up images of building a Shelby Cobra replica in the garage - different, sporty, better than Detroit and way cool. There are perception issues with "old" airplanes as well. I refer to my 1950 Navion as a Classic so folks can relate it to restored and well maintained classic cars.
